"Caught it!" His subordinates walked in from outside and said to Lu Shaoyu who was sitting there handling official duties.
Lu Shaoyu put down the official document in his hand and asked: "How many people were arrested?"
"One hundred and twenty-seven..." the subordinate replied.
"No, there are three more." Lu Shaoyu said, "These three people should be very cunning and not fooled."
"What should we do?"
"Now that we have alerted the snake, the same method is useless. Find out the identity and appearance of those three people, issue a reward, and make them wanted across the country."
There is no airtight wall in this world. As long as they walk around outside, someone will always find their whereabouts. Furthermore, there is also a profession called bounty hunter. As long as they have enough money, there is no one they cannot catch.
The three fish that slipped through the net were quickly counted out, and the government issued a wanted warrant.
At night, Lu Yi entered the house and asked the housekeeper if the young master had come back. The housekeeper said that he had.
"The young master ordered people to pack his luggage when he came back. It seems that he is going on a long trip." said the housekeeper.
"Where is he now?"
"study."
"Have you had your meal?"
"The young master said he used it outside. When he came back, he locked himself in the study and never came out."
"We are the only two men left at home, and we have nothing to talk about except business matters. That boy is a tough talker and never talks unnecessary words to me." Lu Yi took off his cloak and handed it to the servant next to him.
The butler said from the side: "Young master, you still follow me."
"Madam is doing big things in Tongyang City, I'm afraid she has long forgotten about us." Lu Yi said in a faint tone.
The butler and several servants nearby lowered their heads and smiled sullenly.
Other families are full of resentful wives, but their Lu family is full of resentful husbands. Look at the prime ministers of this generation, they are full of resentment when they talk about their wives, as if they are resentful husbands who have been abandoned by women at home.
"Master, do you need to prepare a meal?"
"No, I used it outside."
Mu Siyu and the children were away, and Lu Yi, like Lu Shaoyu, would rather deal with him outside than come back and suffer the desertion.
Lu Yi went directly into the study.
Lu Shaoyu heard the footsteps and stood up to greet Lu Yi.
"father……"
"I heard that you are packing your luggage for a long trip?"
"I want to track down the whereabouts of those children." Lu Shaoyu said.
"Tell me what you think..."
Lu Shaoyu expressed his guess.
"My son felt that they should have entered the territory of the good country through water."
"If you go to a good country, it will not be easy to get those children back. If it causes a dispute, it will also lead to hostility between the two countries." Lu Yi said, "Do you have any countermeasures?"
"Not yet, my son decided to take it one step at a time, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge." Lu Shaoyu said.
Lu Yi took out a feather-shaped iron piece from his arms.
"This is the Flying Feather Order," Lu Yi said. "It is the contact token of our intelligence network. Take it and if you need help, go to the local feather-shaped store for help."
"Thank you dad."
"Whether we can be recovered or not, your safety is very important." Lu Yi said, "Don't let yourself get hurt, otherwise I won't be able to explain to your mother."
"The last sentence is the key point!" Lu Shaoyu pouted.
"Who said that? You are my son, and of course I don't want anything to happen to you." Lu Yi patted his shoulder, "After all, if something happens to you, when can I retire and return home?"
Lu Shaoyu: "..."
In fact, this is something that everyone understands tacitly, and there is no need to say it so clearly.
As soon as Lu Shaoyu left the capital, Lu Yi became busy again.
King Xuan was assassinated and seriously injured, and needed to go to Yaowang Valley to rest.
Fan Yuanxi directly sent a team, led by General Su Sheng personally, to escort Fan Yan to Yaowang Valley.
A few days later, a soldier escaped back to the capital with his seriously injured body and reported to Fan Yuanxi that General Su Sheng was assassinated and that King Xuan fell off a cliff and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
"Where is General Su Sheng's body?" Fan Yuanxi asked coldly.
"Back to the emperor, we brought thirty people with us, and only one subordinate was left alive. The subordinate was seriously injured again, and we couldn't take care of General Su Sheng's body, so we handed him over to the nearby villagers..." the soldier finished.
, spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Here comes Dr. Xuan," Fan Yuanxi said.
Lu Yi looked at Fan Yuanxi: "Leave this matter to Lu Xuan! General Su Sheng is his father-in-law, and he is dead outside. He should be asked to pick him up and investigate this matter."
When Lu Xuan heard about this incident, he felt heavy.
He told Su Zhiliu the matter without hiding it from him.
"I want to go with you." Su Zhiliu's eyes were red and he controlled his emotions. "But before I go, I have to go home and tell my mother..."
Su Zhiliu went back to Su's house and told Mrs. Xiao about this.
After Mrs. Xiao learned about it, she locked herself in the room for half an hour.
Su Zhiliu stood outside the door, listening to the crying inside.
Even though she tried her best to suppress herself, the sad voice still came out.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Xiao came out, dressed in plain clothes, and said, "I will go with you to pick him up."
When sending Lu Xuan and others out of the city, Lu Yi apologized to Xiao.
Xiao shook his head gently: "Prime Minister, don't say this. He is a general and a minister. How can there be a minister who does not kill the enemy? The emperor arranged for him in this way because he valued him. He told me when he came back.
, the emperor told him that there was a fraud in King Xuan's assassination and that he went to Yaowang Valley this time, and asked him to be cautious along the way. It would be best if he could figure out King Xuan's purpose. If he couldn't figure it out, don't be too eager to fight. He should come back alive first.
I think he should have been very careful, but the other party was too cunning and fell into his trap."
"My condolences, madam."
"My husband is worried about our daughter the most. As long as she is well, we as husband and wife have nothing to worry about."
Lu Yi pulled Lu Xuan to the corner next to him and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it won't be peaceful on this journey. You have two women with you, so you have to be more careful. I sent a team of people to protect you secretly. They won't show up normally.
, will only show up at critical moments.”
"Brother, don't worry, I know it well." Lu Xuan said, "That carriage is not an ordinary carriage, but one that I ordered from my sister-in-law's apprentices. There are many mechanisms inside. If nothing else, if we are really in danger, my mother-in-law and Liu
As long as I don't come out, nothing will happen."
"It's better if you take them with you. It can make them relax their vigilance. If you want to check something, it will be more convenient."
After sending Lu Xuan away, Lu Yi ordered his men to keep an eye on Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Although there was an unfavored princess left in Prince Xuan's palace, there were still many followers of Fan Yan. Fan Yan could not care about that woman, as his only son and several important followers would always be taken away.
Lu Yi went to the palace again.
In front of Fan Yuanxi were the name tags of several generals.
Seeing his appearance, Lu Yi said, "I don't know, I would have thought you were going to turn over the cards."
"I'm upset, don't make trouble with me." Fan Yuanxi threw away the name tag in his hand, "General Su Sheng is here. It is precisely because of his belief in General Su Sheng's ability that he handed over the important task to him.
I wouldn't trust anyone else except him. If I had known what would happen, I might as well...forget it, it's useless to talk about it now. Once General Su Sheng leaves, it won't be appropriate for anyone to replace him."
There is no shortage of capable people in the court, but there are not many people who can use peace of mind like General Su Sheng.
Don't underestimate Fan Yan. There were many of his people in the court, but they were hidden so well that even Lu Yi couldn't find them out.
"Then let's recruit new people!" Lu Yi said, "The emperor should have trained a lot of his own people, right? If you don't use them now, how long will it take?"
"If you just use it like this, don't you tell everyone that this person was arranged by me and is my confidant, so hurry up and guard against him?"
